Award-winning, family-run Nicholas Hythe Kitchen Design Studio has expanded its presence with the opening of a new showroom in Ely. The launch adds to its long-standing St Ives location and represents a key milestone in the company’s growth journey.
Founded in 2009, the studio has built a loyal client base across Cambridgeshire and beyond, delivering bespoke kitchen designs tailored to individual lifestyles and homes.
Over the years, the business has become recognised for its thoughtful approach to design, placing emphasis on functionality, craftsmanship and longevity rather than fleeting trends.
Each kitchen is carefully planned around how clients use their space day to day, with attention to detail, durability and clear communication throughout every stage of the process.
The Ely showroom has been created to guide homeowners through the early stages of planning a new kitchen. Instead of endless displays, visitors will find a handpicked selection of layouts, finishes and materials.
This curated approach allows customers to explore different design ideas while seeing the quality of workmanship up close. The space has been designed to feel calm and welcoming, encouraging open discussion and informed decision-making.
As Cambridgeshire’s only Trading Standards Approved kitchen designer and installer, Nicholas Hythe offers customers extra confidence in its standards of service and workmanship.
The approval reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to transparent pricing, detailed design work and reliable aftercare once installations are complete.
For brothers and directors Ross and Bill Halliday, opening in Ely is especially meaningful. Their family history in the city dates back to the 1600s, making this expansion both a professional achievement and a personal milestone.
The studio offers a fully managed design, supply and installation service, as well as a design-and-supply option for those who prefer to arrange fitting themselves, ensuring flexibility without compromising quality.
With two showrooms now open, Nicholas Hythe continues to grow its reputation as a trusted local specialist, helping homeowners create kitchens that work beautifully for years to come.
